Loved around the world as a source for the best in stringed instruments, Lansing's Elderly Instruments is All Things Strings. Enter the Washington Street store and you encounter the best in musical instruments and a staff of terrific musicians who welcome you as if you had "walked into their living room." And "anyone and their brother" can pick up an expensive instrument and play it. No glass cases, no one looming over your shoulder, and you don't need to askjust pick it up and play.

All Things Strings is wall to wall music, from folk to rock to bluegrass to country and western. The camera takes you behind the scenes with the quirky and knowledgeable staff, into workshops with guest musicians, and into the funky office and mind of Stan Werbin, co-founder and owner, and the source of the spirit and magic of Elderly.
